Hope today is just as wonderful for you as it was 65 years ago! If you get a chance, how about telling us where you and your bride tied the knot?

On a side note, while we were sponsoring the Wood Brothers team with Kyle Petty for 7-Eleven and Citgo in the mid-80s, I recall Leonard Wood's pretty daughter, Beth going to work as a designer for Danny Schiff at Bull Frog Knits.
The #00s of Bobby Allison, Sam Ard and Buzzie Reutimann:
AJ Foyt in the #00 Holman-Moody Ford BEFORE his huge lap 169 crash in the 1965 Motor Trend 500 at Riverside:
#00 Buckshot Jones
Former NASCAR Modified Division Most Popular Driver and NASCAR Late Model Sportsman Division Virginia State Champion, Al Grinnan works a corner at Richmond's Southside Speedway in his #00 Coleman Mann ("From Powhatan") Chevelle in the early 70s:
At age 45, Richmond, Virginia's Sonny Hutchins qualified the beautiful Emanuel Zervakis built powder blue #01 Dominion Oxygen Supply Monte Carlo on the front row and lead the first 79 laps of the 1974 Old Dominion 500 at Martinsville. It would be Sonny's final GN/Cup race in a stellar career.
This could be 2015's empty Daytona grandstands as Delma Cowart (the singing, partying piano player) passes by driving his #0 in 1997.
Judging from the Mark Bochiardy rendering of Earl at Fayetteville in 2006, appears he had gotten over the Evel stage some 32 years later... or perhaps this was his son. How about you Fayetteville attendees... is the Earl Arnold competing at Fayetteville in 2006 with his #1 the same Earl Arnold I watched in his #1 at Wake County and Wilson in the early-mid-70s?
The #1 of Earl Arnold at Wake County Speedway in 1974, the #1 of Mac Mangum at Wilson County Speedway in 1976 and the bright red #M1 of Plymouth, NC's Shelton McNair at Wilson in 1976 are shown below in these Tim Hamm photos:
Tony Hirschman's #1 has the inside line on the #69 of Brian Ross in Winston Modified Tour action during the Winston Twin 200s at Richmond International Raceway on April 8, 1990:
